Get away from police
To get away from any cop during a pursuit, drive into
the showroom parking lot. Park in the corner where the wall is
located. The cops will circle but not find you. Wait until your
meter reaches "Evaded" and you will be all clear.
Drifting the Sprinter Trueno
Learning to control this car will rack up massive respect
points. Before entering a corner, tap your brakes and release
the gas. Point your wheels in the direction of the corner and
angle your car for the exit. Ease on the gas to bring yourself
through the corner. You can easily achieve Kensei Drifts, Braking
Drifts, Jump Drifts, Feints, and Two Wheels using this method
and car combination.
Car recommendations
Choose the 2002 Toyota Celica at the beginning of the
game. You can sup this car up well and it handles great. You can
finish more then half of the races in your first car. If you are
low on money, go to the Sanctioned Desert event races and race
the first series a few times. They are quick races and one of
the easiest. If you lose, you will not lose any money.
Before starting your street mode game, use the Skyline GTR to
complete the Philadelphia Iron Man challenge in arcade mode. When
you start your street mode game, you will begin with a modified
Toyota Trueno AE86. With little more modifications, you will start
with the best drifting machine in the game.
When starting a new profile, use your earnings from the very first
race and buy a Trueno and do not do anything to it. Next, go to
arcade mode and win the EVO, Trueno,RX-8 Mazdaspeed, and the RX-7
Bathurst. Go back to street mode, sell the Trueno you won and
you will begin the game with more money than you had when you
first started; and you will have an EVO, RX-8, RX-7, and a stock
Trueno with some aftermarket parts. It is recommended that you
sup up the EVO and use it to start; it has good stats and handling.
To get the most out of the Nissan Skyline, do not choose the $118,000
model. Instead, select the base (cheapest) model. All the performance
upgrades on the M spec and V spec are lower than the regular Skyline
with all the performance upgrades. The regular Skyline will max
out to 1007 hp and the V and M specs will max out to around 960
hp.

Wagering
When you place wagers before each race, the amount
of each wager stays the same throughout all three races, no matter
what the wager amount says between the races. For example, if
the beginning wager is $2,000 then it will remain that way throughout
the entire series for that racer.
Body kits
Although in real life, body kits were originally designed
for aero-dynamics (to reduce wind resistance, thus making your
car move faster), this is not true in the game. The body kits
weigh down the car more, thus reducing your top speed. This can
be as little as 10 mph to as much as a 25 mph loss, which can
obviously be the difference between walking away with someone's
ride or losing yours. Do not put body kits on your cars. They
do not add to respect, will slow you down, and makes your car
cost more to repair.
